To my mom.


“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother.” 
This is my first official Mother's day this year. After being a mama to Sadie for the past 10 months I have come to have even more appreciation and love for my own mom.
My mom has taught me so much and I am forever grateful for all her unconditional love. By example she showed us how to have faith, and how to love unconditionally. She taught me how to never give up and always chase your dreams.
I know she is always there to listen and encourage and give advice when I need it. I hope and pray I can follow in my moms footsteps in my own journey as a mom.

Happy Mothers Day to my own mom, my mother in law and to all my mama friends!

Love,

Satisfied

I'm not sure if you noticed or not but I took a little break from blogging. I didn't really mean to but I haven't posted in over a month! Something heavy was on my heart and I couldn't really write without thinking of it.
Lately I have been really anxious about all the changes that have happened this past year. It's been really hard being new. One of the biggest challenges of my life, that's for sure. I've always been surrounded by family and friends. Not having the feeling of community has been really, really hard for me.
But I know without a doubt that God moved us here for a reason and is using this time of loneliness to draw me closer to him. Our little family of three has also become a lot closer through all of this.
We are still in the process of finding the right church and a place to call home.

When I was driving home from Abbotsford on Monday this song came on the radio and it really hit home.
I need to be more content. I need to be satisfied with what I have.
"No matter what my future holds, you are God, you are in control" is my favorite line from the song.

Have a listen here!

I will be back to blogging more regularly.
Next post will be a update on my Sadie girl!
She's growing and changing so much lately. I can't believe she is almost 10 months old

Sadie Rae is full of joy!
